Publication details: Göteborg Chalmers University of Technology. SAFER Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre, 2015Description: s. 283-290Subject(s): Online resources: In: FAST-zero'15: 3rd International symposium on future active safety technology toward zero traffic accidents: September 9-11, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden: proceedingsNotes: Konferens: FAST-zero'15: 3rd International symposium on future active safety technology toward zero traffic accidents, 2015, Gothenburg Abstract: Suddenly occurring disruptions on the road and especially at intersections – such as accidents, disabilities by vehicles and objects – may cause significant adverse effects on the traffic flow and in turn lead themselves to potentially dangerous situations. By using its integrated GNSS receiver and its mobile communication device the smart traffic cone provides timely and spatially accurate information about local disruptions in the road environment. It is a tool for police, rescue, recovery and service staff for detecting hazard areas that could not be detected so far.Konferens: FAST-zero'15: 3rd International symposium on future active safety technology toward zero traffic accidents, 2015, Gothenburg
